After hanging tough for the game's opening minutes, the DePaul Blue Demons could not keep up with the Xavier Musketeers, who used a late-first and early-second half run to put the game out of reach and win 86-65.
It was certainly no walk in the park early, but the Xavier Musketeers once again proved themselves to be one of the Big East alpha dogs on Saturday afternoon, thrashing DePaul by a score of 86-65 at Allstate Arena.
After trailing for a good portion of the opening half, the Musketeers used a 23-1 run that carried into the second half to leave the Blue Demons in the dust.
